Here's where I lived and worked for about a year and a half after college. Some people still think I live there, even though I've been back for more than 4 years.
I was the assistant news editor at the Norwich Bulletin. It was a pretty intense job. I had to run the news desk a few nights a week. Lots of page 1 and wire duty. Some of my co-workers were pretty cool. But I got pretty bored up there working nights and being so far from the fam. I put a lot of miles on my Mazda driving back to NJ.
When friends or family would visit, I'd take them to the waterfall, called Indian Leap. Here's the story:
In 1643 Uncas, Sachem of the Mohegans, led his warriors in the famous battle against their rival tribe the Narragansetts. Legend has it that a band of Narragansetts, unfamiliar with the territory, unknowingly reached the high treacherous escarpment of the Falls. The Narragansetts, rather than surrender, attempted to leap the chasm. Unsuccessful, they plunged to their deaths into the abyss below.
Then we'd go to the buffett at Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun, and probably to Mystic, which does have good pizza.
